I pan fry in peanut oil with a 12" cast iron Lodge, potatoes about 1/2" cubed. They take 12 to 15 minutes. I add the diced onion 3 minutes before the end. They get salt and paper towels when the come out of the pan. Quote HistoryQuoted:

You mean I can put Okra in fried potato and onion? Now we are talking. When I make fried potatoes and onion I put the onion in near the end so it doesn't get overcooked. When does the Okra get put in? Never done it like that (see above, not doing a lot of frying these days,) but it should go in before the onion I'm thinking.

And Jambalaya. Okra is delicious. It's how I can tell if someone is actually from the South or if they're full of shit. Lots of people want to throw on an accent and fly a battle flag while spinning a yarn about how Southern they are. If fried okra is on the menu at a chicken joint and you skip it for some bullshit like mashed potatoes or baked beans

Quoted: It did really well in the garden last year but this northerner doesn't know what to do with this stuff besides pickling them. So if I want to go out to the garden and pick some Okra what do I do with it? Just fry it up? Chop and fry it. Eat it while it's still hot & crunchy - don't serve cold. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/fried-okra-recipe.html |

Dehydrated Okra Chips!
Slice in half. Drizzle peanut oil over them. Lay in dehydrator. Season with Nature's Seasoning or your choice. One will try and eat them all in one sitting. It's OK though as the oil won't allow them to store well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nsc7qCrgrM [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nsc7qCrgrM[/youtube] |

There are three rows of okra plants growing in the garden right now. I could feed the whole county.
The wife cooks them 6 or 7 different ways, with stewed tomatoes and onions is my favorite. There is no such thing as "bad' okra.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
What is okra good for? You either fry it (not for me except rarely, heart healthy diet and all,) or you sauté it, or you use it to thicken soups or stews, and then you shove it right not that big hole in the middle of your face, that's what you do with it. Mind you, it is rare to encounter it in restaurants here, as okra was never part of traditional NOLA cuisine, but you can get it at some grocery stores. |
